Hadn't played US before, but won the Mechanized Company Commander a while back and wanted to show how abusive the Dodge really is. I felt bad doing this =( but did it anyway for replay/balance purposes. Needless to say, I dominated my opponent.

Also, to those who say that "He should have built a Raketenwerfer earlier!..." If I hadn't gone Mechanized and he had done just that, he would be preemptively screwed.

Notice that he did build one towards the end of the game but was easily killed, all I had to do was take my rifles out of the Dodge, send them in on a frontal assault, then flank with the Dodge, then it was dead. The flank was easy because he had no infantry to support it (other than an MG34, which was also terribly easily flanked.) And why did he have no infantry to support it? Because the Dodges killed them all. See the problem here? Just move it to 1CP or something. It's dumb in it's current state.

ALSO, no, he's not a super highly ranked player. That doesn't take away from the fact that this unit is outright broken.

Eh you could at least leave placement and get matched with out of placement opponent.

Placement games aren't really an indicator of anything.

It goes both ways though, that was my first game as US and I was able to abuse it so easily. That's the point I'm trying to make.

I saw a Slow M3 without flamer. Your opponent was also total Nub mode. He tries to run at your Dodge with Volks. Doesnt recapture his MG that died due to no support. Then instead at the end of making a Pupp facing one way and MG the other to prevent Circle straffing he just kept putting the Pupp where your Dodge WAS and not where it was GOING to be.

It may be abusive but thats not what I saw. I saw a bad OKW player that also didnt know how to deal with it.

Yea, hardly anyone has that commader though as far as I know but it does indeed look OP. Too bad I'll prolly never get to use it.

I've tried it, and it doesn't seem that great to me. 20 fuel is a pretty big investment that early in the game, even if it is 0 command points. The rest of the commander's abilities just don't stack up to the usefulness of the other american commanders either.

It may not be useful late game....but it seems good US games vs OKW are over around 10 min. I watched the SNF finals and I think it was 8 min. Pro US seems to beat Pro OKW as it stands now. I'd need to see more replays of it but I haven't.
